It's writings on the fucking wall.
Looking at first one of the first movements of the pilot season of HBO's The Wire ("This America, man") and the final sentence of season of Omar ("It's all in the game "), then gives the series by David Simon and Ed Burns in a way very nice again, what the USA once stood, and sometimes are even still. The Land of opportunity promises the American Dream, where a drug dealer dead in the street or as Jay-Z could wind up a multi-millionaire and husband of Beyoncé. And two other quotes from the previous season proved true. Marla Daniels' "You can not loose if you do not play" as well as Sydnor "I just feel like this just is not finished".
The case of Lieutenant Daniels (Lance Reddick) and his unit against Baltimore's West Side drug kingpin Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris) went pretty up in smoke. Although at least Barksdale could be sentenced to a 7-year sentence, as well as some of his gang members to D'Angelo (Larry Gilliard Jr.) and Wee-Bey (Hassan Johnson) have long imprisoned, but eventually they took only a few pieces from the chessboard. But the game is still in progress. While Stringer Bell (Idris Elba) is now pulling the strings, trying to get more good shit on the street to Daniels and McNulty (Dominic West) get along with the professional consequences of their actions.
doubled in the second season The Wire his storylines. Particularly brought into focus a union for port workers is around their union head Frank Sobotka (Chris Bauer). This can now and then with his nephew Nick (Pablo Schneider) for a criminal Group of "Greeks" around their spokesman Spiros Vondopoulos (Paul Ben-Victor), some container loads disappear from the Dock. When one of these charges is not collected with twelve Eastern European women and the choke is in it then be women, begins an investigation of two of the Baltimore Police Department, which determine the second year the series.
While the murder of smuggled prostitutes of the homicide and thus Bunk (Wendell Pierce), and the newly transferred there Freamon (Clarke Peters) and the port police officer Beatrice "Beadie" Russell (Amy Ryan), falls (and also for the Marine Unit said McNulty criminal deals with the case), Daniels calls his old personal monitor back to life. Because of a dispute regarding a church foundation, the two Polish-born Stanislaw Sobotka and Major Valchek (Al Brown) clash. Inspired by the good words of his son-Prez (Jim True-Frost), is now Valchek Daniels to Sobotka and illegal activities in the dock.
So it happens that the series from the sixth episode Undertow almost back in the old cast, since Daniels next Freamon, Prez, Herc (Domenick Lombardozzi) and Kima (Sonja Sohn) and Carver (Seth Gilliam) on board obsolete. Only McNulty (however from Duck and Cover comes More) Sydnor and missing to complete. And the latest from here begins The Wire also the paths to follow his first season, when the tension is based on the quasi blueprint last year. This creative uninspired could criticize, of course, is also at least subtly negative, but the scenario looks at the second attempt still relatively clean, and sometimes more convincing than before.
that on the docks, not everything is received correctly, has On the Waterfront no secret and is also used by Beadie in her first scene ironically implied. It is less concerned about the actual operations down to the dock (although one time also one of the many accidents happen), but instead in the life of the port workers looked. Especially in the by Nick, who is not working enough hours to get to his girlfriend and their daughter can rent an apartment. The sobotka'sche social study is completed by Frank's worthless son Ziggy (James Ransone), the lack of money is also involved in activities with Spiros and the Greek.
The two main plot lines now follow the intricacies of the dock workers around the Sobotka, and also the investigations of Daniels, McNulty and Co. accompanied The Wire, will continue the events in the Projects and corners of Baltimore's West Side. Stringer Bell has to nibble because of Avon's absence, his drug supplier has come off and are turned off many essential people like Wee-Bey, Bird or stinkum. Sun advance Poot (Trey Chaney) and especially Brodie (JD Williams) become more important players, where more responsibility will be overloaded. Faced with a flagging product string, however, begin to forge more and more its own plans.
As of that date and the East Side Kingpin Prop Joe (Robert F. Chew) significant, if much seed is scattered, which is harvested in the third season. In this regard, also appear old faces like Omar (Michael K. Williams) and Bubbles (Andre Royo) back on, but in less prominent roles as last year. The focus of the projects is rather clear on Stringers growing control of Avon's business and which way he is willing to commit for this inspection. Also suggests the bridge to the fourth string action around Avon and D'Angelo in the state prison Jessup. Here the results show the development of D'Angelo to the end, it has begun in the first season.
will not miss out this year one or another political jab. Was it last year, the 9/11-Protokoll that has prevented a proper sentencing of Avon, the judiciary and this time the one or the other leg. This explains Rhonda (Deirdre Lovejoy) in the backwash that permit interception of drug dealers is indeed possible, but not to people smugglers. "That's the law," reads the apology. And what would be possible if all the institutions of the United States by the police through the FBI to work together possibly the NSA activities, is evident in the episode Storm Warnings when the FBI Daniels' unit of their GPS tracking system for their investigations are provides.

In Storm Warnings there is also the best episode the second season (and so far in the series), though the episodes as the season finale Port in a Storm , Collateral Damage , Backwash and Stray Rounds also stand out from the rest. Overall, therefore, makes a noticeable improvement in quality and content, despite the raised Abkupferungen from the previous year (some events seem taken directly). Successful are also still occurring humorous loosening, of Omar's trial testimony against Bird over Bunks as predicted by McNulty inability to tolerate alcohol, to classical, to McNulty's standard phrase "What the fuck did I do?".
Anyway, it will continue to be the characters in the foreground. McNulty will attempt his marriage back into gear while Kimas partner begins planning to start a family. Note the marriage of Daniel and his wife, with whom he as in Backwash discuss any career and service decision. In contrast, Herc and Carver continue to hold in the background in their role as changing Jokes. The fact that only the private lives of Daniels, McNulty and Greggs is dedicated shows quite clearly the position that they have three ensembles within the police (even Freamon follows the camera away from the troops never leave).
feels Basically the series but after the second year is not really as the most significant impact on that television has ever produced. does the focus shift on the docks The Wire well, it adds a new piece of the puzzle, but is filled with familiar cliches, and thus hardly a reinvention of the wheel. Nevertheless, works and has the second season as an investigator series with strong characters even a little better - primarily its remarkable characters like McNulty, Bubbles, Omar or Brother who joined the newly Mouzone (Michael Potts) is thanks. In the end, after the determination again before the investigation. For in The Wire see always two times
